PL Handball Rule To Change From Next Season

The International Football Association Board [IFAB] agreed an amendment to the current law at an AGM earlier this year, which was to be implemented after June 1.

But competitions which were suspended because of the coronavirus pandemic and have restarted, including the Premier League, were not required to apply the amendment.

Lawmakers have also amended the definition of handball from next season and it will be defined as 'when the arm starts at the bottom/end of the armpit'.

The IFAB hopes the amended law will bring more clarity for everyone.
